一般多以为旗帜起源于图腾崇拜，但考古资料显示图腾崇拜仅是旗帜的源头之一。旗帜按材质来说应该分为两类，即有帛旗和无帛旗；由于材质的不同，因而旗帜的源头有二：羽旄旗和图腾旗。之后旗帜的演变也是按照有帛和无帛两个方向发展的，两种旗帜共同构成了中国古代旗帜的各种类型。

Generally speaking, the flags originated from the worship to totems. However, archaeological discoveries reflect that the worship to totem is just one origin. There were two kinds of flags according to the material of which the flags were made, one was silk flag and the other is flag without silk. The origin of those two kinds of flags mainly fails into two divisions, because of different materials used. One originated form the leathered flags and the other from totem flags. Hence, the flags developed into two directions, namely silk flags and flags without silk. The two kinds of flags covered almost all kinds of flags in Chinese history.
